I think it's more worthwhile to note that they no longer have to reduce the speed limit to 70 (!!!!) in some areas during the summer for animals, not increase it. The maximum speed limit allowed in ALL national parks is 90 km/h, and they don't seem interested in changing it for the Trans Canada through BC and Alberta.
I like to set my cruise control to 10 km/h over the speed limit on all highways, and I find it funny to see people passing me a ton in the national parks (set cruise to 100), but then I pass them all between Canmore and Calgary (set cruise to 120). Something scary about driving 120km/h suddenly, but no problems going 20-30 over in the national parks?
